    I am just telling you when I joined and remember writing my membership # on an ID card that came with the mailer, what year that was I don't know. The number was also on the address label of the Xmas records. I am not actually mentioning this because of anger over ticket placing. I enjoy my seats every show. I am just wondering why this is so.

    It doesn't take away from the fact that my cousin and I joined in 92 and have 147 and 164 #s. I don't care, I would just like to know why.

    So lets say 1998 then... according to Two Feet Thick membership numbers werent established until then... Good lie though!

    But were still issued by seniority. You think I'm lying about being in the 10club since 1992? Do you want to see my Xmas records? I always though my number was a great number, until I recently saw what numbers people had that joined the same year as me. I just figured there were that many fan club members before i joined.

    Xmas records don't have much to do with anything. You can get them all on ebay if you want to... not saying you did, I'm just saying that's not really a valid argument.

    You probably let your membership lapse at some point... shame on you!

    Yes because they must take a cut of active members on a certain day to send the XMAS single - say 12/1. So you sign up 6/06 - get a 06 xmas single - your membership goes into default 6/07 you sign back up 11/07 - your membership number goes to the back of the line and guess what you get a 07 xmas single.

    Not saying the rules where anywhere close to displayed, enforced, or known in years past compared to now - but sure would be possible to have all XMAS singles while letting your membership lapse more then the 3 month grace.

    SHOW COUNT: (170) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=114, US=124, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1

    its really simple
    contact the 10C and find out why.

    the rest is just speculation

    I type a 3 to 4 paragraph story on the situation and all I got was this, no explanation:

    "Sorry, the only member number we can find for you is the one you currently have. 164xxx"

    I doubt they are going to do much about it unless you can establish when you joined and that you never let it lapse. Tough task considering it was 15 years ago.

    I can provide every address I've ever lived at every possible email, every credit card. I can give them anything.

    I look at my number 164xxx(and I've been a member since '92) and I think my number has an extra digit on the end. I never thought about it before until I looked at the join dates on the touringfans.net site. My number is a number corresponding with a member who joined in '96 or '97. In fact my cousin has the same problem. He is a 147xxx and joined a few months before me. We both have every Xmas record since the '92(the one with the dead deer in the road on it). If you take that digit off the end, my number then looks like it would be in the proper range. Let me know if you have ever had this problem.

    I know a lot of you are probably thinking why is he complaining about a 164xxx number, but it does seem like it might have been a mistake. Any opinions or advice?

    I'm not reading all this, so it's prolly been said already, but you've been in the club since 92' & are just NOW noticing this? Be serious. You either didn't join in 92, or let your membership lapse.

    The absolutely only way they will be able to make anything remotely happen, is if you have membership/fan club correspondance indicating the date and your member number. Otherwise you are SOL. I went through this with them a few years back when I let my membership lapse, but you could still get your old number back at any time. They lost all their files before the new membership system went live. So if you weren't current, and didn't have concrete proof of your number, you were out of luck. That was me. And it was my fault. I took my lumps and rejoined. Unless you can provide the Credit Card statement for all your membership purchases, I think you should get comfortable with your present number.

    The numbers started with 1 and have gone up. If as you say you had 164XXX you had about 4 years as the highest number in existance.
    So what you are saying is when there were 100000- numbers you were the loan the 164XXX
    Sell crazy someplace else. You lost a membership or missed and they reissued a new number. Somewhere in 95/96

    that number is 95-96 territory my friend. I am guessing you renewed late and never noticed. I was late once and lost my number, had to beg to get it back, but that was like a week later(man I never been that broke in my life, even the 10 bucks it was then was too high for me). My guess is you are SOL this far after it probably happened.

    still a decent number, but nothing like the 34xxx you probably had via 92

    There is another thread that mentions when you first purchase anything from 10club, you get allocated a number (member or not).
    So for example I first purchased something in 2004, and was allocated a number (even though I was not yet a member). Then in 2005 I actually purchased my membership and have the number 326xxx.
    I know some people who purchased there memberships in 2004 and have higher numbers than I. Thats because my account was created before they got their membership.
    Thats what was stated in another thread recently anyway - cant find it now.

    So the people with lower numbers than you may have already bought something as non-members.
    Take me for a ride before we leave...

    If I recall, they didn't take credit cards in the early days when membership was 5 bucks...I remember mailing in my renewal by check for a few years, so I doubt you'll have any shot at proving your claim unless you keep all your cancelled checks.
